If the Driver doesnt work replace your android_winusb.inf with this one.

You will then have to update the driver for your device (in Device Manager, look for your Kindle with an Exclamation mark on it, inspect it and click Update Driver…navigate to where the android_winusb.inf is in your Android SDK Directory)

I had the same issue.
Just try a different .apk of the same file.
Should work, atleast it did for me.

Download the gapps.rar file, that contains GoogleFrameworkServices.apk & all other necessary file if required.

There is an issue with this calendar application. It has a grey bar at the top of the screen that blocks the numbers of the top line of the calendar. Anyone else having this issue? Is there a newer or better calendar.apk file?

any thoughts about getting google contacts to sync? I seem to have all the parts in place with all the right permissions and not only does the app not appear, but the kindle contacts app shows no sign of being up to date. Thanks to your discussion i was able to get the calendar working beautifully. I use business calendar btw. thanks!

It isn’t installing for me and I have tried all of the suggestions on your post as well as downloaded the file from the other site listed. Any suggestions? I’m not sure I want to root my kindle, as I still want to be able to use the amazon store for books and lovefilm for films, but I’d like to have easier access to my google programs!

For the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk, I’m trying to change it’s permissions but I don’t see how do this in Root Explorer. A long press on the filename brings up the options but none of them allow me to change the file permissions. Please let me know what I’m missing.

To get google translate’s voice input to work on the Kindle Fire HD you need to have the Google Voice Search sideloaded. I looked up ” Google Voice_Search_2.1.4.apk ” which is the latest as of this writing and eventually found a working one to download. I had already installed the Google services framework on my Kindle, so I am not sure if that is necessary to have first, but I wanted to let everyone know about my success in getting Google translate to work fully.
